The Beat of the Olde World

Rhythms of passion fly in the night sky
Up and down the maddening notes dance 
Many drink and sing as drummers are in a trance

The noble lady was full of ire.
Her drunken knight had pissed out her evening fire.
So now she sought warmth by his sleeping horse,
and indulged in some heated intercourse
with the knight's drop-dead handsome squire.

A pocketbook of grins
deprived of rightful glory,

upon subconscious intellect
layered with finite faces

Premium Member Tamar the Great of Georgia

[paraphrase of a Svan folksong]

I raised myself to Heaven
I dug up a barren mountain
I left only a deep hole
I put the sword to Constantinople
I drove them into the sea
I made their lands my lands.
